    my clio rs dream is over.... its dead

    That is crap! Mate I feel for you! I'd push her insurance company to replace all your mods, or get your insurance company to do it and forward them the bill. Why should you lose out. If they don't contact your insurance's legal team and ask to take action against her or her insurance company...

    New Splitter Fitted

    Looking good mate! First I've seen with those wheels and they look spot on IMO. Maybe on the splitter, can you use some sort of filler/joiner on it to smooth it out like you would do on the bodywork, then paint it all over? 172 engine planned for the future or something different?

    Need TV Advice !

    720p is 1280x720. On a TV that small, you probably wouldn't notice any increased detail when using 1080p unless you're sitting inches away from it. TBH quality wise, only problems you may have are when the TV scales the picture to adjust it to fill the screen. Most HD ready TVs are quite good...

    2000 x reg PH2

    Ph1 were still running till Y reg (March 2001), thought the phase 2 came out around June 2001 so a few on Y regs but most started on a 51 plate. It may have had a private plate which was taken off so it was given a random plate to replace the private plate, so maybe that's why its an X? But...

    kwikfit rate?

    FLOL. So true though, it'd take a couple of minutes to call up and get an accurate price rather than to wait for people to reply with a price you might not be able to get.

    how did every one buy there car

    Saved up a lot from temping over the summer, and used the money from the sale of my last car. Not a bad car to have for a uni student IMO.

    Tyres...

    As warren said. I've been told before if you're replacing just one tyre on the axle, its best to the same level of wear, to keep grip levels the same. Not 100% sure on that but it is kind of logical.

    BBC iPlayer update for Omina, C905 and X1

    Looks good this. Streaming video is a top point for me for next phone, hope they'll sort it for the 5800.

    Insurance with engine transplant??

    Any way you could class it as a kit car? Then it should be cheaper.

    hit the limiter by accident but it didnt redline?

    ^^ ya. If engine is not up to full operating temp, limiter is earlier than norm. I find my "shift" light comes on quite a bit before the limiter.

    cant stop wheelspinning in 1st gear!

    My guess is pretty much already said. It's either: 1) Heavy right foot 2) Crap tyres 3) Wet/icy roads Can't say I have any problem in my 172. Since wearing in my eagle f1s, its more of a game to see if I can get the ESP/TC kicking in.

    Weird noise when starting car...

    I got this yesterday and today, interestingly only thing I had done was unclip, move and then reclip the power steering fluid bottle and connect my amp to the battery. A few seconds and its gone, nothing to worry about I guess.

    Removing spanner from bottom of engine bay???

    Got it out! Cheers guys! Parked it with just the wheels on a curb, and was plenty of space for my dad. Only asked for advice, and next thing I know he's under the car with a spanner lol Unscrewed 3 bolts, unclipped one side and the spanner fell out. Saved me a couple quid for buying a new...

    Removing spanner from bottom of engine bay???

    Did give that a quick try over the little brick bumps you get in a cul-de-sac but apparently I was "being too gentle". Never give my car abuse over any bumps so it was hard for me lol

    Removing spanner from bottom of engine bay???

    lol if it was a cup, I wouldn't even dream of a sub. Easy to take out though when I start doing track days though :)

    Removing spanner from bottom of engine bay???

    Cheers guys, will give it a try tomorrow. If not enough time, is it dangerous to leave it there for a couple of days? No axel stands. So anything strong enough to take the weight will be ok underneath? Just place it near the jack point? Dan, will call you if I have problems and not too dark...

    Removing spanner from bottom of engine bay???

    I was seriously scared of putting my hands in the bay and not being able to get them out again. Wiring up my amp, was 2 minutes from finishing, spent fooking ages trying to get that spanner. Is the bottom panel easy to come off? I've only got the standard wheel jack, dangerous to take it off...

    Removing spanner from bottom of engine bay???

    Dropped the bugger while reconnecting the battery, I know it fell on the panel underneath the engine because I could see but moved it out of sight trying to get to it. What's the best way to get it out? And sitting at the bottom its not dangerous is it?

    iPhone now on Pay As You Go

    Probably not out till June-ish sort of time :( I want a phone soon but not prepared to wait cos by June, another phone will be on the horizon and so on. Plus its bigger than the iphone, which is only thing that really puts me off.

    Ph1 key plip..

    As said order from Renault, 10-14days for mine. For the blip fob (inc. immobilizer chip), I paid £70 (got blade cut elsewhere). Then half hours labour (£40-50) for programming to car. Only garages I know do it are Renaults, but there is a guy on here who says he can do it (was posted in clio...

    Bugger mate. Spending that much so quickly, you should keep it clean lol

    What made you choose your Rs or Clio ?

    1. Had a mk1 and a mk2 ph1, enjoyed both those clios but wanted more power and handling but with a better interior so a ph2 172 seemed a good option. 2. For my price range it had everything: good power, handling, comfortable, looks good (esp in monaco), not too old and reasonably economical...

    iPhone now on Pay As You Go

    Been on PAYG for quite a while now from o2 and CPW. Only make some sort of sense if you have an extremely, extremely cheap contract. Otherwise not worth it at all.

    Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic

    Phone Help Please !

    N96 has been slated by a lot of people for being slow, my mates have said the same, I've never tried it though. Nokia 5800 should be out soon, touchscreen symbian seems ok. Depends what you want from the phone.

    What tyres

    I'm sure they were PE2, size was 195/45/16 not 205 so maybe why? £93.58 fitted here http://www.blackcircles.com/public/order?view=standard They got the F1s for £72 and I paid £60 so PE2 at £80 doesn't sound far off. Might call tomo for to check the price lol

    182's... the crappest car to drive in snow?!
